NI WSN-3212

NI Wireless Sensor Network 4-Channel, 24-Bit Thermocouple Input Node

This user guide describes how to use the NI WSN-3212 thermocouple input node and lists its 
specifications. Figure shows the NI WSN system components.

Figure 1.  

NI WSN System Components

The NI WSN-3212 is a four-channel, low-power, wireless thermocouple input device that works with 
other NI WSN-32

xx

 nodes and gateways to form a wireless sensor network. The NI WSN system 

consists of one or more NI WSN gateways, up to 36 NI WSN-32

xx

 nodes per gateway, and multiple PCs 

or Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to receive and analyze the distributed sensor data. For 
more information about PACs, visit
